What is a Sustainability Sprint?
A Sustainability Sprint is a themed, time-bound employee challenge that engages your workforce in hands-on sustainability actions. Each sprint features a curated set of daily and one-time actions organized around a single topic, from reducing waste to rethinking energy use, selected from Ecochallenge’s most popular and effective offerings.
Employees sign up, choose the actions that resonate with them, and track their progress alongside their colleagues. Along the way, they learn, connect, and build habits that extend well beyond the sprint itself.
You can choose to run the sprints for either 14 or 21-days, depending on what works best for the organization. Sprints are priced at a flat rate of $5,000 per event.
How it works
- Choose your theme. Browse our curated sprint themes and pick the one that fits your goals and interests.
- Select your tier level and format. Determine how many employees will participate and decide between a 14-day and a 21-day sprint.
- We build it for you. Ecochallenge sets up your branded sprint, complete with your organization’s logo, within three weeks.
- Get your team excited. While we build, you’ll receive a communications toolkit with ready-to-use emails and announcements to generate buzz before launch day.
- Launch and go. Your employees join, create teams, choose their actions, and start making an impact. Ecochallenge provides technical support throughout.
- See your results. When the sprint wraps, you can view and share the final impact dashboard showing how your organization's collective work produced a positive impact on the planet.
Available themes
Each Sustainability Sprint is organized around a single curated theme. Themes feature pre-selected categories with a mix of daily and one-time actions for participants to choose from.
